Chapter 606 Site Selection Haunted House
With Su Mumu pointing the direction, the group rode a carriage to an abandoned house in Nandu.
After getting off the carriage, the group was surprised to see such a desolate place in the bustling Nandu City.
"This place seems to have been the residence of a prince. Later, for unknown reasons, the prince suddenly died suddenly. Since then, it has been said that this place is haunted. Several people who did not believe in evil bought it. They either died or went crazy. Later, they never returned.
No one dared to build a mansion here, so it has been abandoned until now."
The old coachman who drove the carriage was a local from Nandu and knew all the streets of Nandu very well. After saying this, the old coachman groaned repeatedly.
"It's better not to choose a location here. It's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. This place is very evil."
Su Mumu had always scorned the feudal superstitions.
He stepped forward and pushed open the corner door with great force, and got in through the crack in the door.
Nan Muchen was worried that Su Mumu would run away, so he hurriedly followed him. Chang Zhihai, who was responsible, also hurriedly followed Nan Muchen through the door. Mr. Su called his servants to follow him, and he took the lead to catch up.
The dilapidated buildings can still be seen as prosperous as they were back then. The well-proportioned courtyards and the ingenious layout all illustrate the extraordinary taste of the owners at that time.
It's just that the mansion occupies too large an area. Su Mumu only walked halfway before she couldn't walk any further, so she went to sit in a pavilion nearby.
The people who followed also came over one after another and took a rest in the pavilion.
"Listen, what's the noise?"
Nan Muchen, who has excellent hearing, heard a whimpering sound, but when he tried to listen carefully, it was gone again.
Su Mumu listened and listened carefully.
"What's going on somewhere?"
Suspecting that he was delusional, Nan Muchen stopped paying attention and looked around at the scenery in the garden.
The combination of dead branches and lush green leaves gave it a different flavor. As the wind blew through the branches, Nan Muchen seemed to feel for a moment that he had become the owner of this huge courtyard.
Owner.
"What? The emperor is going to give that madman a house?"
Empress Xu, who was deep in the palace but had eyes and ears all over Nandu, when she heard that Nan Yuyao planned to reward Nan Muchen with a palace, she was so angry that she smashed the tea bowl in her hand into pieces.
The resurrected ears and eyes were bowed and cautiously by their side, waiting for Queen Mother Xu's instructions with a look of panic on their faces.
"It took a lot of effort to bring down that bitch, but there is still such a scoundrel left..." She gritted her teeth and lost her temper. After calming down her anger, Queen Xu asked again. "Do you know where he picked the place?
?”
I don't understand why Empress Xu suddenly became interested in Nan Muchen's site selection, so the person who returned to her life hurriedly answered.
"I heard that I chose the haunted house in the south of the city."
I was constantly thinking in my mind. If I opposed it openly, it would definitely arouse the emperor's resentment towards me. It would be better to support it openly and secretly make a fuss about the location. Maybe Empress Xu would come to eradicate the roots. When I heard about Nan Mu
Chen unexpectedly chose the ghost house as Prince Ding's residence, and his face instantly lit up with joy.
"This evil bastard doesn't need me to figure out countermeasures. He started to seek death on his own. If you choose a ghost house, you can only wait for death. There is no need to take action. I will go to the emperor to advise you and ask the emperor to quickly remove the ghost house.
Give him a reward so that I can gain another reputation as gentle, virtuous and reasonable."
When he returned to the palace, he was just waiting for the memorial of Nan Muchen's site selection to be sent for review. He didn't want to wait to open the memorial. Nan Yuyao was surprised when he saw that Nan Muchen actually chose the location of the ghost house.
"Come here, prepare a carriage for me. I want to leave the palace."
In less than three days, the emperor visited the Su Mansion twice in succession. When the entire Su Mansion was in a state of hustle and bustle, Su Mumu was the only one who could comfortably avoid the busy crowd and climbed to the ridge of the roof alone, humming a tune and looking down.
"What are you looking at?"
The three Jiying people, who had long been forgotten in the guest room, noticed that the atmosphere in Su Mansion was different from the past, so they sneaked out to check what was going on. Suddenly they heard someone humming a tune above their head, so they looked around and climbed up to the roof to take a look.
"Why are you guys here too?"
Su Mumu found out that it was Ji Ying and the other three, and stopped humming a ditty to say hello.
"I heard you humming a tune, so we climbed up to have a look at the excitement. What are they busy with?"
As far as the eye can see, everyone in the house is busy inside and outside. Even Nan Muchen, who is usually taciturn, is dressed up in a grand manner and is surrounded by people standing in the courtyard, as if waiting for someone.
"You have really good ears..." Su Mumu said while looking at the three of them. With the guarantee of food and clothing, the energy of the three of them suddenly improved a lot. Compared with the old rags and dirty faces, they were really
There is something completely different about the two people.
Because Ji Yu was about the same age as Su Mumu and both were girls, he especially liked to be close to Su Mumu. He timidly moved to the side of Su Mumu and looked down. Su Mumu was worried that Ji Yu would accidentally fall down because he was young and stretched out his arm.
Come and trap Jiyu, he is so happy that Jiyu immediately smiles.
"Miss Third, what song are you humming? It sounds very nice."
Ji Yu's childish question made the tone-deaf Su Mumu laugh.
Seeing the friendly look between Su Mumu and Ji Yu, Ji Ying, who loved his sister very much, was very moved.
"Third Miss, what can we do for Su Mansion?"
Not wanting to be a freeloader of the Su family, Ji Ying took the initiative to ask for help.
"You asked the wrong person. I don't care about the affairs of the house. But you don't have to worry. Your service will naturally be needed in the future."
He also felt that he had asked some questions, so Ji Ying smiled sheepishly.
"Miss Third is right, but today Mr. Su suddenly sent three sets of clothes of the same style. I don't know what the purpose is."
Before, I vaguely heard Mr. Su mention that the Boy Scout Shadow Guards had been transferred out of the Shadow Guard Camp. Now I heard Ji Ying ask for information, and told the truth to make the three of them feel at ease.
"Since I will give you three uniform equipment, it certainly makes sense. If you three have the patience to wait, it will only take two or three days at most."
After receiving Su Mumu's affirmative answer, Ji Ying felt a little relieved.
"Thank you, Miss Third, for your advice."
Smiling slightly, Su Mumu did not answer any more, but stared blankly at Nan Muchen who was surrounded by everyone.
I received news from the palace that the emperor was going to visit the Su Mansion. This time, I had time to prepare, and there was a commotion in the Su Mansion. The last news I got was that the emperor had canceled the trip.
"Where did Mumu go?"
Nan Muchen, who had been waiting in front of the courtyard for a long time accompanied by Chang Zhihai, raised his head and asked quietly. Before Chang Zhihai could reply, a sharp voice almost pierced their eardrums.
